I Am Reinstating My Previously Witheld Monthly Payment To FR

Giving priority to what is most important, I have decided to swallow my pride. I had a dustup with a moderator. I lost. Though I think the moderators need a tuneup they ain't so bad really. I depend on them to keep this site from becomming a free for all whacko hate site. I used to push the abuse button quite frequently on my fave undesirables ... anti-semite, haters. I notice they're a bit thin around here lately.

It is most important that Free Republic live and thrive. It is less important that I get things my way around here. Though I do not agree completely with the proposition that it is Jim's site and he can do with it what he damn will pleases ... It's as much our site, collectively, as it is his now. Perhaps Jim does ride herd a bit too hard on this creation he gave birth to. Fact is I don't know. I simply don't have enough information.

But it is a given that FR is the best there is at what it does. If it's only my morning paper and a place to exercise my verbal skills ... it's worth supporting. Now is the time for all level headed thinking FReepers to come to the aid of our wounded friend ... Free Republic.

It is his choice. It is also Jim's choice how this forum is run. Whatever he decides, that is the way things will be handled.

There are people here who I feel are destructive. There are people here I don't particularly care for. However, that is the way life in general works.Heck, I don't even agree with my family all of the time!

So, whether Registered stays or goes, whether Bushbots are helped or hindered, that is Jim's choice.

Because he started this site, and because he is the one who makes it work, it is his decision. Whatever he says goes. If I get too upset, I can go to other places or watch television or pull weeds in my garden.

I do not expect Jim to defend my positions to the exclusion of all others, merely because I am a donor. I would hope others also could come to that point of view.

I would also like to know if 2 out of 9 moderators are responsible for all the problems. Are they on duty 24/7?

[NittanyLion]

Okay, BADJOE. Thanks.

What did I do?

A guy at work gave my Wife and I two Tie-Dye T-Shirts today

FoxNews on in the background. Could Susan Estrich's "voice" be any more annoying and grating than it already is?

[tpaine]

I don't believe anyone here truly "hates" third parties, but its only human nature to dance with the one who brung ya.

Whose design was it?

[Constitution Day]

Best news I've read all day, gentlemen.

[mercy]

Well ..... I've done my fair share of dumping on GWB ... and I've taken a lot of heat ... but I never got banned for it ... or even mobbed.

Now, Howlin called me a bunch of names but .... what else is new?

Pardek, you know that in your frail condition they won't let you give blood.

They'd better - I've been able to cut my whiskey bills by 40%!

Do a google search and check the internet way back machine.

Tpaine...shut up.

GROOOOOOOOVVEYYYY!!!!

Would you like to hear some "Starland Vocal Band"

[strela]

She's adequately dressed and can do a passable waltz, but all she wants to talk about is the drug war. I prefer a more well-rounded dance partner myself.
